Would you take the same stance were the article within the Deseret News and picturing happily temple married Mormon couples kissing?

In other words, is it couples being pictured kissing that bothers you or the fact that it's same sex couples?

I think I was pretty clear on that. I don't care to see couples kissing. that's all. that's not to say I take some great exception to public kissing. I simply don't care. Hope that helps your skeptical eye a little.

Yep that helps, you don't like seeing couples kissing, and Just Me finding joy in seeing happy couples is 'a joke' and 'stupid'. Got it.

I very much enjoy seeing happy couples in love showing affection towards one another.

FYI to everyone, not all the couples are kissing in their wedding photo.

I remember that our wedding photographer took several pics of us kissing. Stem, certainly you had the same types of pics taken at your wedding.

You're a delight to discuss with, Jon. You have clearly missed what I called stupid. and asking Just me if it was a joke was in essence joking myself. I'm happy thinking others get all teary eyed when couples kiss. I simply don't. It doesn't really mean much to me to see others kiss. If its truly a joy for Just me to see pictures of couples kissing, then good for her. I won't hold it against her.

Sound fair, mister jump the gun?

Probably. We don't display our happy couple kissing photos--I don't really remember any particular kissing ones but they're probably in there. I can see that some enjoy seeing others kiss and show affection. It simply doesn't float my boat. I shouldn't have commented, seeing as others will twist my words into something they were never intended to be.

I withhold the answer to that question as it pertains only to my wife. But rest assured, if you allow me to speak for her for a sec in a non-Schryver way, she's quite happy with me.
